Data monkey. Reader. Re-discovering reading after years away. Left-leaning, I still believe in common sense and hope one day I find someone with some.

It was great catching up with the man himself this afternoon.

I found this incredibly useful, if only to confirm my thinking about the candidates.

Thank you to Green MP Julie Anne Genter for sharing such an important perspective, especially on behalf of those of us who feel we can’t ❤️ #nzpol @nzgreensglobal.bsky.social @julieannegenter.bsky.social

My cartoon in today's www.thepost.co.nz/nz-news/3605...

Over the weekend we heard news that AnnTelnaes resigned from the Washington Post over censorship of her cartoon. In honour many of us toonists have created our versions to show solidarity. Democracy dies in darkness.

#PoliticalCartoon
Cartoon title: Broligarchs thrive in darkness. A gigantic Trump stands on a podium (thankfully we can't see his face) his stupidly long red tie is being used to scale Trump by Elon Musk, with his chubby swollen hands (too much ketamine), Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos (who slid down the tie carrying bundles of cash and throwing it into the air whilst laying down laughing. The final character is at the bottom, who looks more distressed than happy, it's Mickey Mouse. A surprise contender... They're all throwing notes into the air.

For friend and colleague @anntelnaes.bsky.social who took a courageous and principled stand against editorial hypocrisy. As requested by Steve 👍 @sbrodner

A journey through the 26 times Luxon said ‘what I say to you is’ on Q+A
In a Q+A interview on Sunday, the prime minister said 'what I say to you is' 26 times in 30 minutes.

I was trying to watch this during breakfast. Got interrupted by someone who should know better. Why are we just letting this happen?

This skeezy jellyfish man, soon to be deputy prime minister, shilling for McDonalds.

How much corruption is too much?
